mod_php 8.1.26 crashes on apache graceful restart

Description

After updating from PHP 8.1.25 to 8.1.26 our apache24 servers started to crash from time-to-time on graceful restarts (e.g. after midnight log rotation).

Here is the core dump:

PHP Version

PHP 8.1.26

Operating System

FreeBSD 12.4

Commencez par l’emplacement du crash dans compact_literals.c à la ligne 520, puis suivez le chemin de démarrage des extensions à travers zend_extensions.c, main.c et sapi_apache2.c. Reproduisez le crash lors d’un graceful restart avec PHP 8.1.26 sous Apache sur FreeBSD 12.4 et identifiez pourquoi l’optimiseur reçoit un null op_array. Le travail est terminé lorsque les graceful restarts ne provoquent plus de crash dans ce chemin.
